I'm personally a big believer in 320kbps MP3s. I do hear the difference between MP3 and Lossless but I found 320kbps MP3 the best combination between sound quality and size

If size is a defining factor, I wholly agree...now tell that to Jobs >_>

VBR ftw! If your a believer in quality AND size VBR is the way to go. The graphs speak for themselves. 320kbps is bloat, silence in music does not require 320kbps.

That says it all right here, no need for words!!
